get moving now

will someone please tell me what this is? a bird? a turkey? a peacock? a rooster? a bir-key-cock-ster? whatever it is, it has managed to deliver the message "do it now" cheerfully and i guess that's all that matters! my major call to action this week is getting back to running every day, one sluggish mile at a time. so far i can manage two :)

hanna chose the terrific weekword NOW - there's still time to join and post your interpretation on friday. i posted mine a day early, for obvious reasons - it couldn't wait!

Good for you with the running. Keep it up! Five months ago, I could barely do a few circles around the ice rink and now I'm doing tangoes and waltzes. All those individual days really do add up to something wonderful! Go Aimee!

I like the fifth choice most - it looks appropriate for the name. That, or "motivational rooster"? Whatever the case, I love the colors most of all, and the message. Best of luck and thanks for the inspiration Aimee!

ah, the elusive birkey cockster. when in god's 24 hours are you running? admit it - you have an extra hour everyday when the rest of us are frozen. I'm proud of you. a half marathon is in your future...xox

That birdie-doo is soooo cute! She reminds me of a mouring dove, which are all called Millie in our house. I love her head and plumage and featherage...well, all of her!!! Great message, too...need to take that to heart.

I like the happy & colourful bird - but its message may be a bit too much for me in my current fragile state. It reminds me of a manager I had for 8 years who greeted us at Monday morning meetings with: Ah! All bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, I see!!! Every Monday. But I have to say, it is the kind of message I wish I had around when I still had kids in the house. And I also really have to get going & moving & grooving and start doing my 5km walk every day, which I have stopped due to work pressures. But not right now. For now I will have a glass of champagne, thank you very much!

you're running too Aimee...I love running, but have acquired what my grandma used to describe as "a hitch in my giddiup" so I run 3 days a week...awesome..2 and a quarter miles in a half an hour mind you!and it's SO a peacock-a-doodle-doo!

I'm thinking partridge.And I was just telling M. the other day I wish I could find exercise I really liked and could stick to. I admire you for running. Gardening and toodling around on my bike seems to be my norm lately.
